Fiber Optic Distributed Sensors for High-resolution Temperature Field Mapping
Published on: November 7, 2016
Abstract:
This Letter presents an ultrahigh resolution optic fiber strain sensor. A random distributed feedback fiber laser (RDFL) is locked by the proposed frequency-shift Pound-Drever-Hall technique, which tracks the resonant frequency change of a π-phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating. The random distributed feedback for the RDFL gives a Lorentzian envelope over the original laser frequency noise, which can suppress the thermally induced frequency noise. The frequency noise of the laser is reduced from about 100 to 20 Hz/√Hz at 1 kHz. An ultrahigh dynamic strain resolution of 140 fε/√Hz at 1 kHz is achieved.

Construction of Frequency Distribution
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...
